More Paris Puzzles — Paul Craig Roberts

Some people who are not inclined to believe the
official story of the Paris attack are troubled by the question why Muslim
suicide bombers would blow themselves up for a false flag attack. The answer to
this question is very simple. But first we should dispose of the question
whether suicide bombers did blow themselves up. Is this something that we know,
or is it part of the story that we are told? For example, we were told that
during 9/11 passengers in hijacked airliners used their cell phones to call relatives,
but experts have testified that the technology of the time did not permit cell
phone calls from airliners at those altitudes.

To dispose of the question whether we have or do not
have any real evidence that suicide bombers blew themselves up, I will assume
that they did.

So we have suicide bombers blowing themselves up.

Now turn to the question that troubles some doubters:
Why would suicide bombers blow themselves up for the sake of a false flag
attack?

As I said, the answer is simple: Why assume that the
suicide bombers knew who was organizing the attack? There seems to be abundant
evidence that ISIL is a US creation, one that is still dependent on US active
or passive support—thus the conflict between Putin and Washington over
attacking ISIL. ISIL seems to be what Washington used to overthrow the
government in Libya and afterward was sent by Washington to Syria to overthrow
Assad. Obviously, Washington has ISIL infiltrated. Washington has long proven
is ability to use Islamic extremists. As Washington used them in Afghanistan
against the Soviets and in Libya and Syria against independent governments,
Washington used them in Paris. By my last count, the FBI on 150 occasions has
successfully deceived people into participating into FBI orchestrated “terror
plots.”

Now let us move to some bigger questions. Why do
terrorists attack ordinary innocent people who have neither awareness of
“their” government’s actions or control over them? The victims of 9/11 were not
the neocons and members of the Washington establishment, whose policies in the
Middle East justified attacks on their persons. Ditto for the Boston Marathon
Bombing, and ditto for the Paris attacks. Innocents were the victims, not those
who have taken Muslim lives.

Historically, terror attacks are not on the innocent
but on the rulers and those who are guilty. For example, it was the Archduke of
Austria/Hungary who was assassinated by the Serbian terrorist, not ordinary
people blown up or shot down in a street cafe.

It is interesting that terrorists attacks attributed
to Muslims only fall upon ordinary people, not upon the political elites who
oppress the Muslims. In past years on several occasions I have remarked in my
columns on the total vulnerability of the neoconservatives to assassination.
Yet there has been not a single attack by terrorists on a neocon life, and the
neocons are the source of the violence that Washington has unleashed on the
Muslim world. The neocons walk around without threat free as birds.

How believeable is it that Muslim terrorists take
their ire out on innocents when the President of France himself, who has sent
military forces to murder Muslims, was sitting in the attacked stadium and
could easily have been eliminated by a suicide bomber?

Now let us turn to questions of identification of the
alleged “Paris terrorists.” Is it realistic to suppose that the millions of
refugees from Washington and its European vassals’ wars in the Middle East have
passports? Were these millions of refugees expecting to be driven by White
Civilization’s Bombs out of their countries and thus had prepared themselves
with passports in order to flee?

Did they write on their passport applications that
they were going to be visiting Europe?

Was the beleaguered country, their homeland, under
full military assault, able to process all these millions of passports?

What sort of dumbshit Western media goes along with
the passport story — a media well paid to lie for Washington’s hegemony and
crimes?

One final question for skeptics. Where are the
photographs of the terrorists during their terrorizing? Surrounding the scenes
of violence there were not only abundant security cameras, but also hundreds,
even thousands, of people with cell phones that have cameras.

With all of these
photos, how is it possible that the authorities do not know if some terrorists
escaped, and if so, who they are and what they look like?

Why are the
authorities relying on fake passports for photos of the terrorists?

Terrorism has been unleashed in the Western World, and
it is the terrorism of Western governments against Western peoples.
